Background

Pacific Electric Picture Company was launched on September 16, 2013 by actor Ed Helms, with a first look deal set at Universal Television. Helms brought in Mike Falbo of Mosaic Media Group as the company's EVP Production & Development. The company did not have a logo until 2019.

(January 29, 2019-)

Logo: We fade in on a bridge with rocks and a moon around midnight, as a train passes by a factory with smoke coming out of the pipes on the roof. As the camera gets closer and the screen darkens, we see a closeup of the old-time like sign saying "PACIFIC ELECTRIC PICTURE CO".

Variants:

  • On Coffee & Kareem, a completely different nighttime setting is used. The screen also fades to black, leaving just the sign before cutting to the opening credits.
  • On Rutherford Falls and Aunty Donna's Big Ol' House of Fun, the finished product of the Coffee & Kareem variant shines on a black background while it slowly zooms in.
  • On True Story, the logo has shocks of blue electricity going through.

FX/SFX: It's all done in excellent CGI.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the film.

Music/Sounds Variants:

  • On Rutherford Falls, a 7-note dreamy tune plays.
  • On Aunty Donna's Big Ol' House of Fun, the end theme plays over.
  • On True Story, the sounds of electricity is heard.

Availability: Common. It's first seen on Corporate Animals. Also seen on the other aforementioned titles above.
